“Practical, intelligent, and focused on solutions (‘Whenever mothers are educated, there is a higher probability their daughters will be too’), this book combines sound research across several disciplines to prove the simple math of its title and make the pressing case that governments should prioritize gender equality for reasons of economic stability if nothing else.”–Publishers Weekly

“This is easily one of the best in the long-running Ledger series. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Maberry draws fans across at least three genres, so libraries will definitely need to stock up on this one.”–Booklist, starred review
